    Lotti, I went through the same, I had tingling with it. My gynecologist said it was related to my hormones. Symptoms come and go, my doctor said if the pain last more than 3 months, and disturbs your sleep and wakes you up only then would she give me a test. How long has this been going on over 3 months?

      I've had tingling on the right hand side it wasn't all the time may be around 4-6 weeks.

      I was doing stretching a bit for my neck and shoulders. It's gone now.

      Had as well blood test done and neck x ray, saw the Physician and he said that it was due to my breastfeeding I stopped on the 20th of July and all my hormones went mad, so he said it was muscular pain. I rolled into horrible pains and everything came down just before Christmas.

      Blessings

      Wow, mine didn't care, she ordered xrays and an mri, which I had done. Then she put me on meds for the tingling. Said it was a bit of arthritis.so I took the meds after about 3 months everything went away, I stopped the medication and have been symptom free this was about 4 years ago.

      I guess every doctor is different, mine will find what you might even die of lol, that's how thorough they are there.

      Yes, Natallia I was also given exercises to do, they really helped a lot. I even went to physical therapy for it luckily it wasn't severe.

      Sochima,

      It's been almost a year now. I had the robotic laparospic total hysterectomy 14 mths ago. I'm wondering if they messed up something in my back or neck...

      Unless they touched a nerve while doing the hysterectomy is the only thing that comes to mind.

    You just go for every test you can and find out what is going on. I was told it was carple tunnel even though I told them it is worse at night when I am lying down! A Physio told me it was a classic symptom of trapped nerves in my neck which made perfect sense as I have damage to discs in my neck due to accident. Get ANSWERS before any treatment and good luck.

    Hi Lottl

    I have the exact same thing and I did had Scans done told I had bad discs. My dr suggested a pain clinic and therapy..I decided to leave it alone I didn't want to get on pain medications.. It come and goes...I notice when I'm very anxious and stressed that's when I get it. One of the drs told me not to worry is all related to the hormones, something she was going through as well smile it's funny when I was so worried about it use to bother me all the time since I stopped obsessing over it is not that bad anymore!!
